If you have recently submitted to The Iowa Review or have experience with this market, please submit a comment below. Recent submission response times are always welcome and helpful to other writers.
The Iowa Review looks for the best poetry, fiction, and nonfiction being written today and is often pleased to introduce new writers.
Non-contest manuscripts are welcome during the fall semester only: September, October, and November. Unsolicited work that arrives at any other time will not be read. (We also sponsor The Iowa Review Awards, an annual contest for which entries are accepted January 1 through 31.)
Work must be previously unpublished in print or online, and, if accepted, must not be published anywhere else before it is published in The Iowa Review (the lead time between acceptance and publication is about a year). Simultaneous submissions are accepted, provided you contact us immediately to withdraw your work if it is accepted for publication elsewhere. We typically respond in one to six months.
The page limit for prose is 25 pages and for poetry is 8 pages (query by e-mail if you have a longer poem).
